The RSPB's 37th annual garden bird audit, known as the Big Garden Birdwatch, took place earlier this year, with members of the public identifying more than 8 million birds around the British Isles.

More than half a million people now regularly take part Big Garden Birdwatch, allowing the RSPB to monitor trends in bird populations.

"With results from so many gardens, we are able to create a 'snapshot' of bird numbers across the UK," the organisation says.

"While some changes in bird numbers can seem scary - we've lost more than half our house sparrows and some three-quarters of our starlings - it isn't all doom and gloom. Over the last 35 years blue tit numbers have risen by 20 per cent and the woodpigeon population has increased by a whopping 800 per cent."

Below are the 10 most common birds in the British Isles, according the RSPB's results. But how many of them can you correctly identify?
